Here's a helpful way to visualize it:
* Passenger side (right) is typically where the distributor is located.
* The distributor is positioned closest to cylinder #1.
This means if you're facing the engine from the front, cylinder #1 will be the one furthest to your left.
Important Note: While this is the standard configuration, it's always best to double-check your specific engine by looking for markings or consulting a repair manual.
